February Special – Hormone Clear is 20% off

Hormone Clear is a unique combination of amino acids, antioxidants, and nutrients that support the liver’s detoxification pathways of endocrine disrupting chemicals, EDCs, and the body’s own production of hormones. This is an exclusive product formulated by Dr. Marianne Marchese designed to be used for both men and women’s health conditions as well as detoxification and cleansing plans. Dr. Marianne Marchese is a leader in both environmental medicine and women’s health.

Dr. Marchese formulated Hormone Clear by choosing ingredients that assist the liver in metabolizing the body’s own production of hormones and EDCs. The ingredients in Hormone Clear include: Vitamin B-12 (as methylcobalamin), Folate (as (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid), Calcium (as calcium d-glucarate), BioResponse DIM, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and N-Acetyl L-Cysteine.

Methylcobalamin and methyltetrahydrofolic acid both provide co-factor and methylation support for phase one and phase two liver metabolism of hormones and EDCs. Calcium d-glucarate (CDG) and Diindolylmethane (DIM) support multiple detoxification pathways and provide hormonal support. Both DIM and CDG support testosterone and estrogen balance and assist with metabolism of endocrine disrupting compounds. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) are powerful antioxidants that also support glutathione production in the body. These directly aid in the metabolism of chemicals that disrupt men’s and women’s hormonal health.

Both patients and practitioners are constantly seeking ways to restore balance and aid the body’s natural ability to clear hormones. Hormone Clear is designed for people interested in optimizing their hormonal system or for those who have known exposure to EDCs. It can be used as a stand-alone product or in conjunction with her other formulas from Priority One, Cofactors Support and Hepa Cleanse. This product is contraindicated in pregnancy and with lactation.

New Kiwi Kleanse 20% OFF

Priority One is excited to present our newest chewable formula, Kiwi Kleanse!

Kiwi Kleanse is a delicious natural kiwifruit-flavored chewable tablet containing Actazin & marshmallow root.

This new exclusive formula is designed to provide easy-to-administer relief for occasional constipation including in children and pregnant women. The active ingredient Actazin is a non-GMO, cold-pressed kiwifruit powder sourced from New Zealand. It contains a unique combination of bioactive nutrients that effectively and gently support the digestive and laxation processes.

These active components are clinically shown to increase bowel movements in healthy individuals. Additionally, Actazin contains polyphenols, which are micronutrients known for their wide range of health benefits, including the potential to reduce temporary mucusal inflammation caused by poor digestion. The kiwi enzyme, actanidin, is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down proteins, which may help to reduce bloating and abdominal discomfort.

Kiwi Kleanse includes prebiotic properties, which support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. These bacteria, when allowed to multiply, produce essential short chain fatty acids that provide metabolic fuel for the colon.

Research on the levels of vitamin A and C in the kiwi fiber have been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect, which may contribute to the gut’s motility & ability to keep things moving. Kiwi fiber is a source of both soluble and insoluble fiber with the ability to increase water retention, which provides for softer and bulkier stools.

The ingredient of marshmallow root is noted for it’s ability to produce natural mucilage to support and soothe the digestive tract.

As a special offer to our loyal customers, we are offering 20% off of Kiwi Kleanse in the month of November. Please use code “kiwi20” to receive this offer on your website or phone order!

August Product Spotlight- Kinder Well

Designed by a naturopathic physician, Kinder Well is a combination of vitamins, minerals, and herbs formulated to help fortify and support healthy immune function.

It supplies specific ingredients to support the body’s natural production of white blood cells, including T-cells and neutrophils along with immune-supportive anthocyanins, flavonoids and polyphenols.

The immune system begins to develop from the moment we are born gradually maturing throughout infancy into adulthood. Immune antibodies (IgG) transfer from mother to baby during pregnancy and through breast milk, providing critical early protection against infectious diseases. As this fades away children become more vulnerable to certain infections as the innate and adaptive immunities mature. Children may still acquire bacterial, parasitic and viral infections that will be regulated and fought off with immune responses. Thus creating immunological memory and providing protection with increased immune responses.

Take advantage of this month’s special on Kinder Well by entering discount code “kinderwell20” at checkout for 20% off. Offer is valid on up to 12 bottles..

Cherries and summer go hand and hand…

Hello everyone!

Summer has finally arrived and many of us have brushed off the moss (at least for us, Pacific North Westerners) strawberries are ripening and the cherry trees are teaming with growing cherries.

I love cherries I try every year to beat the birds to our trees and make at least one cherry pie for my husband, but the race is on again. I check every morning to see if they are ready. (I will include my cherry pie recipe at the end of this post for those who’d like to try it)!

Cherries and summer go hand and hand, did you know that cherries naturally reduce levels of uric acid in the body?1,2

Uric acid is a naturally occurring acid in the body but when it is present in high-levels it can contribute to the painful temporary deposits on joint surfaces.

These deposits can be brought about by a variety of factors, one of which is an abrupt temporary rise in serum uric acid levels. This in turn can be secondary to several environmental issues that are part of our summer fun; travel, especially air travel, hiking or other outdoor adventures, BBQ’s and alcohol can all lead to dehydration and concentration of uric acid. One episode and your summer fun can all but be ruined. So here are some summer tips for you:

First hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! As I am writing this I am sitting in an airport lounge waiting for yet another flight (road warriors hear me now) I woke up at 4 am for my first flight and promptly forwent my usual first thing first coffee before functioning, for WATER, yes water should always be what I start with but that’s another story for another day.

After security sparkling water and a coffee finally, 60 minute plane ride = 20 ounces of more water. With breakfast water, and now almost boarding for my next leg and a 20 ounce organic herbal tea!

So what am I saying? Drink Your Water! Not only does it dilute the temporary uric acid spikes but it makes your skin look so much better! Believe me you don’t want to be that flyer that ages ten years during your flight.

Second, watch that alcohol, it doesn’t mean you can’t imbibe but do so wisely, alternate between drinks with water, apply the social drinking rule of no more than one drink an hour.

Did you know that the type of alcohol you choose also makes a difference? Beer is the biggest culprit, with spirits coming in better, and as always my favorite wine is the best choice for keeping your healthy uric acid levels within the normal range.

Finally, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, low inflammation foods, and of course healthy doses of cherries!

If you would like an alternative for when cherries are not in season check out our new UA Clear.

UA Clear has been formulated by Dr. John Hahn, it boasts VitaCherry® a standardized extract of sour cherry containing powerful anthocyanins, which give cherries their distinctive red color.

I hope you enjoy the following Baumgart Summer Cherry Pie

Healthy travel, is it possible?

In an earlier post I promised to fill you in on some of my travel tips! So here you are:

Healthy travel, is it possible? Whether you travel for work, or exclusively for pleasure (grumbling road warriors insert jealously here) You know how difficult it is to maintain your healthy lifestyle while away from home. Who of us doesn’t look forward to that beach vacation, or exploring the national parks or that dreamed of wine tour in Tuscany? Yep wine again, it is a reoccurring theme in my life! Anyways, we all long for that relaxation but what happens to your routine? Are you dealing with food sensitivity or worse full blown allergies? Or even if you just strive to maintain a clean eating style it can feel nearly impossible to navigate these needs while traveling.

And yes you road warriors, we know the looks people give you when you

These are the work pictures that do not get me sympathy! Phoenix AZ

are off on yet “another trip” your fellow pleasure traveling friends and family jokingly tease you for your hard job requirements, and oh if only they could travel for work, life would be so exciting! Exciting you repeat to yourself as you negotiate airport food courts, mediocre hotels restaurants and yet another “salad bar” while trying to maintain a semblance of health during your working day.

One of my adults  with me on a road trip to Joshua Tree National Forest! Route 66

So what is the answer? During the past twenty years (yikes I don’t like the sound of that) my travel requirements have increased. Now most of this is my own fault, but during the early years of our business I was raising small children and the thought of being away even more from them was out of the question for me, so I strive to limit my business travel to essential needs only. Now that I am a proud owner of two adults (just kidding, but seriously your children are your best investment and more expensive than a mortgage) My husband and I have not only agreed to more business travel, but have thrown in much need pleasure travel in the mix. I’ve included some of our fun highlights from the past couple of years, at the end of this post.

So what are my go to musts for healthy travel? Here is my list feel free to reply with your tips

Plan ahead. I always look to see if I can possible find a room with a small kitchenette, now this used to be almost impossible, but now days with Airbnb, and Homeaway, rarely do I have to settle for being cooped up in a blah hotel room with restaurant food being my only choice.
For example in October I attended the Supplyside West Expo in Las
Natural Products Expo Anaheim CA

Vegas, now if Vegas is a first for you go ahead and get that neon sign flashing, casino real feeling hotel room with 24 hour everything! But if this isn’t your first rodeo in Vegas then opt for an off strip Airbnb, or studio apartment like I did. Taxi ride to the convention center was 5 minutes, I couldn’t walk from my hotel room to the convention floor in that short of time, plus I avoided all the smoke-filled casino floors during my commute!
Next be savvy and look up online grocery stores before you go, it only takes a few minutes to open an account with Von’s, or Safeway, or any number of the grocery delivery places and presto food delivered to your new home away from home. Sure I still eat out but now it’s a treat! And not to mention if you are a water freak like me those water bottles on the convention floors cost 8 dollars! Bring your own and soak up the hydration and save your money for that glass of wine later.
Next, plan ahead for triggers. You know what I mean, if you are on a strict gluten free diet and you are traveling chances are you are going to get accidently #glutened, or maybe you deal with inflammation from dairy, proteins, or other dietary triggers. What can you do besides eschewing all forms of social eating and drinking? Well here is my tried and true list of products that I keep in my travel rescue pack:

General inflammation – Priority Zyme ( I take two to four on an empty stomach daily while traveling)
Gluten Exposure- Gluten Resolve taken two ways take three capsules within 30 minutes of eating anywhere you may be accidently exposed to gluten, or if you’ve been #glutened immediately take three capsules with a full glass of water. ( I see discomfort start to diminish within 15-20 minutes) I also call this product “The social life safer”
Indigestion – Hypo Gest This is our strongest digestive aid with two phase breakdown built in. The enzymes are released in PH sensitive phases to digest both in the stomach and the lower intestine for quick relief. (If you are vegetarian I suggest Gastri-Gest it is an amazing fungal based enzyme for digestive aid.
B-12 Rapid Shot – Now this is my secret weapon for travel, it works so much better than coffee, or those terrible energy drinks. One or two of these delicious chewable tablets gives me pep for the rest of a show or late meeting.
And on the other side, REM if you have ever had to deal with jet lag this little number helps tremendously! Or even if you just don’t sleep well in a different bed, it really helps.
Bio-Vegetarian– Last but NEVER least! Germs Germs Germs! How many times have you been perfectly fine then the day after a plane ride your throat is scratchy, your nose is running and your afraid your trip is now in danger? Bio Vegetarian before and during travel will boost that immune system and stave off those unwanted symptoms!

I really mean make a rescue pack and have it ready for your carry on. I use a travel makeup bag with a zipper. I also include ibuprofen, band aids, natural eye drops, lip balm, and a couple of black tea bags, (to use on your eyes when puffy) Just restock when you get home.

The bottom line is you can be healthy when you travel, if you are traveling for pleasure your rescue bag can be packed and unpacked as needed, but take a few moments and plan ahead, it will make that next trip so much more enjoyable! Since travel is a huge area of interest I will be updating you again on other tips I’ve found that help keep me on track even when I’m off the beaten path, until next time…..

Good Health to You!
